***************
After reaching Lahore, the next step for her was to get help from someone but who? She could not go to the hostel. She could not contact Javeria and the others because her family knew her friends and they were going to find her in Lahore in a few hours, but the search may have started by now and in this case contacting these people was not without its risks. The only option left for her was Sabiha, but she was not aware whether she had just returned from Peshawar or not.

There was no one else at Sabiha's house except the employee. Those people were still in Peshawar.

"When will she come back?" She asked the employee. He knew her.

"Do you have the phone number there?" She asked in a bit of disappointment.

"Yes, I have the phone number there." The employee said to her.

"Give it to me. I want to talk to her on the phone."

She had some comfort. The employee brought her in. Sitting her in the drawing room, he brought that number. She call Sabiha sitting there on the mobile. The phone was picked up by a family member in Peshawar. And told her that Sabiha had gone out. Imama hung up the phone.

"I could not talk to Sabiha. I will call her again after some time." She said to the employee standing next to her. "Until then I will sit here."

The employee left, shaking his head. She called Sabiha again after an hour. She was surprised at her call.

She briefly spoke about leaving her home. She did not tell her about her marriage to Salar because she did not know how Sabiha would view the whole affair.

"Imama! It is best for you to approach the court in this matter. Ask for protection regarding religion conversion." Sabiha said after listening to her entire conversation.

"I don't want to do this."

"Why?"

"Sabiha! I have already given a lot of thought to this matter. You are aware of my Dad's position and influence. The press will create a storm. My family will face a lot of problems. I don't want my house to be pelted with stones, because of me, the lives of my family members are in danger and what has happened to all the girls who have accepted Islam and tried to get court protection. The Court sent the Darul Aman. It is equivalent to being sent to prison. It is not known how long the decision of the case will take."

"The family keeps filing one case after another. How many years will pass like this, I don't know, even if the court allows someone to stay free, those people continue to create so many problems that many girls go back to their families. I don't want to waste my life in Darul Aman, nor do I want to be seen by people. I left home in silence and I want to live my life in silence."

"I can understand you Imama! But problems will still be created for you. They will try hard to find you and problems will arise for those who will shelter you and when they start looking for you, then it will be very easy for them to reach me. We will be very happy to help you, but my father would like the help to be done openly instead of secretly and the court will definitely give its decision in your favor in this matter. You stay at my house now. I will tell the employee about this and today I will talk to Dad, we will try. Come back to Lahore tomorrow."

Imama called the employee and handed over the phone to him. Sabiha gave some instructions to the employee and then hung up.

"I am opening Sabiha Bibi's room, you go there." The employee told her.

She went to Sabiha's room but her anxiety and worry had increased. She could understand Sabiha's point of view. She certainly did not want any trouble to come to Sabiha herself and her family. In this case, Sabiha's fears were correct. If Hashim Mubeen had come to know that she had been sheltered by Sabiha's family, he would have become their mortal enemy. Maybe that's why Sabiha asked her to take the help of law, but this path was more difficult for her.
